Five phases, one trajectory

Each phase builds on the one before. The first starts now; it rests on a pilot that has already run.

  1. Phase 1 Status : Under way

    Validate agri-food processing sites

    Goal
    Choose the first sites for a 5,000 to 10,000 L (5 to 10 m³) unit, based on their waste and their energy needs.
    What it unlocks
    Commercial launch: the first unit installed at a customer's site.

    Duration: 7 days at most.

    5,000 to 10,000 L

    i.e. 5 to 10 m³

    Phase 1 integrated biomethanation unit

    Nature : target

    Scope
    One unit, agri-food processing site
    Method
    Sizing chosen for phase 1

  2. Phase 2 Status : Coming next

    Sell biogas to gas-using small businesses

    Goal
    Supply purified biogas to small and medium-sized businesses that cook with gas, including restaurants and hotels.
    What it unlocks
    Recurring revenue and demand that justifies more units.

  3. Phase 3 Status : Coming next

    Equip rural communities

    Goal
    Bring biogas to rural communities and build units there that turn local waste into purified biogas.
    What it unlocks
    Cooking gas made on the spot, where firewood dominates today.

  4. Phase 4 Status : Coming next

    Move the bioenergy framework forward

    Goal
    Work with the authorities so that biogas can be bottled and sold to gas-using small businesses, rural households and urban households.
    What it unlocks
    Distribution of biogas beyond the sites that produce it.

  5. Phase 5 Status : Coming next

    Scale up

    Goal
    Expand beyond national borders and into new segments. Connect whole neighbourhoods: each neighbourhood has its own unit, and each household pays by flow or by use, as on a gas network.
    What it unlocks
    A local biogas network, one unit at a time.

Phase 1 is looking for its sites.
